Showcase’s Cyber Education Panelists Announced

July 3-The three confirmed participants for the “Innovations in Cyber Security Education” panel discussion at next week’sCyber Security R&D Showcase and Technical Workshop will provide attendees a diverse perspective of future cybersecurity education efforts.

A fourth panelist is expected to be added prior to the conference. The discussion will be moderated by CSD Cyber Competitions Program Manager Edward Rhyne.

During the R&D Showcase and Technical Workshop, attendees also can choose from more than 115 technical presentations representing a combined $250 million of federally funded cybersecurity R&D and see many of these technologies in action during the Technology Demonstration Session on July 11.

More than 1,000 public- and private-sector cybersecurity professionals will attend the 2017 Cyber Security R&D Showcase and Technical Workshop. Conference registration is at capacity. As a result, new registrants will be waitlisted and informed via email if a spot opens for them to attend.

The R&D Showcase and Technical Workshop, happening July 11-13 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C., is the federal government’s largest cybersecurity research and development (R&D) conference. July
11’s R&D Showcase will spotlight the vehicle cybersecurity project
and 9 other mature, transition-ready technologies and projects. The conference is sponsored by the DHS Science and Technology Directorate’s Cyber Security Division (CSD).

Today’s
cars have a large amount of software and—like other software-dependent
systems—their software contains bugs and must be updated periodically.
New York University’s Uptane project provides a mechanism to securely
distribute software updates to cars. Uptane counters a comprehensive
array of security attacks, is resilient to partial compromises, and
addresses automotive-specific vulnerabilities and limitations. The
technology has been adopted by multiple suppliers and many others
currently are integrating it.

During the R&D Showcase and Technical Workshop, the 1,200 public- and private-sectorattendees
will choose from more than 115 technical presentations representing a
combined $250 million of federally funded cybersecurity R&D.

Registration is complimentary, however, a limited number of registration spots remain for July 12 and 13 only. Register now to secure a spot at this premier government cybersecurity R&D event. Also, sleeping rooms are available at the Residence Inn Arlington Courthouse. The reservation deadline is 5 p.m. June 30.

Choose from 100+ Presentations at the Technical Workshop

June 5 --
The breadth of the DHS S&T Cyber Security Division’s (CSD) research
portfolio will be on display at the 2017 Cyber Security R&D Showcase
and Technical Workshop, scheduled for July 11-13 at the Mayflower Hotel
in Washington, D.C.
This S&T CSD-sponsored event is the federal government’slargest cybersecurity research and development (R&D) conference.

More
than 100 technical presentations from 15 project areas will be
presented during the two days of the Technical Workshop part of the
program on July 12 and 13. No matter each attendee’s cybersecurity
focus, they’ll find presentations that are relevant and will deliver
insight on the direction of R&D within each broad project area.
During the entire R&D Showcase and Technical workshop attendees can
choose from project presentations representing a combined $250 million
of federally funded cybersecurity R&D. Among the project areas to be
presented are Internet Measurement and Attack Monitoring, Cyber
Forensics, Cyber-Physical Systems Security, Mobile Device Security,
Software Assurance, and Cyber Risk Economics

A review of theTechnical Workshop agendareveals
the broad arc of CSD’s research foci. For example, attendees can see
presentations on projects focused on defending against Telephony Denial
of Service attacks, a research testbed critical infrastructure operators
use to test the security of their networks and systems, using
Blockchain technology for identity protection, and securing medical
devices against cyberattacks.

The
R&D Showcase and Technical Workshop is expected to draw 1,000
public- and private-sector cybersecurity professionals. Registration is
